Abstract:		 The paper considers the role of pottery in the Late Iron Age to Roman transition in south-east Britain. Concern with the significance of Continental imports is rejected in favour of an approach giving equal emphasis to locally made forms and imports in complete assemblages. Several stages of inter-site correspondence analysis are conducted on a range of sites and assemblages in the region. The author argues that patterning pertaining to the use of deposition of both imported and local pottery vessels contradicts models for `Romanization before conquest'. The main conclusions include evidence for the selective disposal of drinking vessels and table wares in pits, the likely widespread consumption of beer as opposed to wine, and the implied importance of indigenous social practices such as feasting and communal drinking.
